A rocket weighing 300,000 N is taking off from Earth with a total thrust of

460,000 N at an angle of 20 degrees, as shown in the image below. What is
the approximate vertical component of the net force that is moving the rocket
away from Earth?

Step-by-step explanation:

vertical force = 460,000 * sin(70) - 300,000

Fv = 187,717.75N
